Through to the Semis

Great result against Our Lady's and St Patrick's, Knock for the Medallion rugby squad. We won 20:15 Well done all.

Youth Trust Sport

We were delighted to receive notification that Justin Kirk and Gareth Rea have both been allocated places at the prestigious Young Sports Leader and Volunteering Residential Camp at the University of Ulster at Easter.  The places include the possibility of selection for a UK wide schools sporting event in Wales in September.  Good for them, and well done.

Senior Rugby Back on the Pitch

It was good to see our senior squad in action again, this time against Abbey Grammar School, Newry.  It was a closely fought match, with Abbey beating Shimna 7:5.  It was a good humoured and sporting match.  We definitely suffered from being one twin down, glandular fever to blame.  Welcome back also to Luc, bringing some French Pzzzaz to our efforts.  Well done.  Thanks for respecting the demands of examination classes and organising the throw in for 3.30.  Full attendance is essential at this time of year.

Well Played

Well played, our rugby squad, though it won't be Ravenhill this year.  Our team played their best against a strong side from Fivemiletown.  It is great to see Luc back from France to strengthen our side for next year's bid.  Upwards and onwards.

Our Ulster Champion

Our Joanne led from the front all the way and brought home the gold medal as Ulster Champion in the 1500m.  Other terrific results came in from, among others, Hannah and Rebecca Stevens, Clarissa Murphy, Shannon McKibben, Anthony McMullen and his broken arm and Nathan Allen.  Well done to everyone.

Through to the Ulsters

Great results at the Down Schools Cross Country Championships today.  The minor and junior boys and the intermediate girls are through, and Clarissa Murphy and Shannon McKibben are through as individuals.  Anthony McMullen had a great run and goes through as well.  This represents a great showing in competition against so many schools.  Really well done all round.

Through to the Quarter Finals

Our rugby team defeated Slemish Integrated College 39:19 and won their way through to the quarter finals of the High Schools Cup. This, coming on the heels of the Plate victory over Antrim Grammar Schools bodes very well for this powerful squad.
